Jesper has been growing up in Sweden and we both moved here together in 2014 and we now call Stockholm our home. We will continue to explore this country in Northern Europe and hope that you will join us.
Do not miss our series Exploring Sweden, where we write about the towns we have visited in this large country.
Our home since 2014

It is the second week of my paternity leave here in Sweden and I’m looking for fun trips to take our Little A on. There are of course several options within a short ride of our home here in Stockholm. Well, in my opinion, the destinations need to have a purpose. That purpose was today…
One of the highlights in wintery Stockholm is the Skansen Christmas market. Earlier this year we purchased a family card for entrance to Skansen for a whole year. Until now we have only used it once and that was to enjoy seeing all the Nordic animals for a day. It is now the time of…
The Swedish town Landskrona is not far from Denmark, it’s just across the strait. The town has is one of several in southern Sweden that has historically been a part of both Sweden and Denmark. Only a short distance from Sweden’s third largest city – Malmö – Landskrona is one of the places in the…
Earlier this week we were discussing what to do this weekend. First, we thought about going to Trosa and enjoy the annual Christmas market. As we will soon go to Trosa in any case, we instead decided to go somewhere else. Actually, we ended up drawing a circle around Stockholm looking for anything of interest within…
There are many smaller towns just a short drive from the Swedish capital Stockholm. Norrtälje is one of these towns and it offers a mix of impressions. Forests, fields, and lakes are scattered around the town in three out of four directions. Going in the fourth direction will lead you to the Baltic Sea and…
Yesterday evening we returned to where the adventure started about three weeks ago – Vagnhärad. Our car has now taken us from Sweden to France and back. It has been a great trip with many interesting stops along the road. We will try to summarize it better later on, here is our last day of…
We have finally left Sweden and are currently on a ferry on our way to Travemünde in Germany. The ferry left Malmö a little over an hour ago. We arrived in the harbor half an hour before the check-in opened and had to spend some time waiting. Luckily it wasn’t that long before we were…
We notice that the nights are getting darker as we drive through Sweden. We have spent quite a few hours in the car since we left Vagnhärad. Now it’s time to say Good Morning Landskrona! This is our last stop before we reach Malmö, from where we will continue to the continent. Thus far the drive has…
It is soon time to go. We have been waiting for quite some time now to go on our trip – it’s been too long since we were abroad! For the last few days we have been visiting Jesper’s parents here in Vagnhärad and it is from here that we will start our trip down south….
Are you looking for a cozy day trip in the Stockholm area? A place where you can dip your toes into the sea and enjoy delicious ice cream? There are several small towns near the Swedish capital Stockholm that are worth a visit. Vaxholm is one of these towns and it is located on an island…
Today we saw a small portion of Swedish history when we walked to Lundby and the rune stone in Sund. We have been spending the weekend with my parents in Vagnhärad and for once we have been quite lucky with the weather. The sun has been shining more than usual, at least compared to the…
Trosa is one of the towns that we will visit quite often this summer. Today was our first visit this year, so we took the chance to spend a few hours enjoying the sunshine and meet my grandparents. All in all, it was a really nice day. Today is also a public holiday here in…
